Pros

Salary is decent. That pretty much sums it up

Cons

The Crop Science team in Sofia is a perfect example of how a single bad apple at a manager position can ruin the work environment for everyone. I am referring to Jecho Murzov in particular. I would recommend to avoid working in a team managed by him, unless you're a fan of being micromanaged, or disrespected with snarky remarks in front of your colleagues on a regular basis. If you still decide to join, also be prepared to have your home office days (mandated by company-wide policies) denied, not because there is something on-site that requires you to be there, but instead only so Jecho can periodically come peek around a corner to check if you're working - which at first can be funny, but quickly becomes creepy and annoying. Apparently the obscene amount of turnover in his team does not raise any red flags to upper management, or they simply do not care, and HR does not help either - they say they know about the issues and that's the end of the discussion. Conclusion - better keep away!

Pros

Hands-on agriculture experience, mostly friendly and supportive supervisors

Cons

Bayer has a policy which limits your supervisors from providing a decent reference for any future jobs you may have (which is awful as a summer student trying to gain experience), upper management not always the greatest

Pros

My team is caring, intelligent, appreciative and truly care about my work life balance and keeping me challenged (I love to learn)

Cons

Upper management changes still don't inspire confidence in employees; morale is low as everyone is worried about their jobs and/or looking for a new job; lack of goals for employees; no HR representation; excessive spending even though dividends have been cut; DSO focus as divisions are failing to meet objectives; no cohesive culture; one assistant supporting one executive while others support twenty people including executives
